DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

    In accordance with Department of Justice policy codified at 28 CFR 
50.7 and section 122 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (``CERCLA''), 42 
U.S.C. 9622, notice is hereby given that on December 20, 2000, a 
proposed consent decree in United States v. Dayton Power & Light Co., 
et al., No. C-3-98-451, was lodged with the United States District 
Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The consent decree represents 
a settlement of claims against Robert B. Snyder and the Robert L. 
Snyder Trust (collectively, ``Settling Defendants'') under CERCLA 
Sec. 107(a), 42 U.S.C. Sec. 9607(a), for the recovery of response costs 
incurred or to be incurred by the United States in connection with the 
Sanitary Landfill (IWD) Superfund Site (``Site'') in Moraine, Ohio. 
Each of the Settling Defendants is an owner and operator of the Site, 
which was operated as a licensed landfill by Sanitary Landfill Company 
and its successor corporations from 1971 to 1980. The U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency incurred costs of approximately $1.2 
million in responding to the release or threatened release of hazardous 
substances at the Site. Under the terms of the consent decree, the 
Settling Defendants agree to pay to the United States $10,000 in 
response costs within thirty (30) days of entry of the consent decree. 
In consideration for this payment, the Settling Defendants will receive 
a covenant not to sue for Site response costs and contribution 
protection. The settlement is based on the Settling Defendants' limited 
ability to pay.
    For a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this publication, 
the Department of Justice will receive comments relating to the 
proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, U.S. 
Department of Justice, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 
20530, and should refer to United States v. Dayton Power & Light Co., 
et al., Civil Action No. C-3-98-451; D.J. Ref. No. 90-11-2-1113A.
    The consent decree may be examined at the Office of the United 
States Attorney, 602 Federal Building, 200 W. 2nd Street, Dayton, Ohio 
45402, and at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 
West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604. A copy of the consent 
decree may also be obtained by mail from the Consent Decree Library, 
P.O. Box 7611, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20044-7611.
